We
who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own,
live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only certain immortality,
never fully understanding the necessary plan.

We then lit candles for our epi pups who now live in our
hearts forever:

They say memories are golden
Well, maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

A
million times I will miss you,
A million times I will cry
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.

In
life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still,
In my heart you hold a place
No other pup could ever fill.

It
broke my heart to lose you
But you did not go alone
For part of me went with you
The day God called you home.

Your
precious memory is my keepsake,
With which I'll never part.
God has you safe in His keeping
But I'll have you forever in my heart.

If
tears could build a stairway
And heartache make a lane
I'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you back again.

the 10 webmail pups who have gone to the Bridge since October and a candle for the health and long life of our epi's still struggling with this devastating disease.
